field at once. Unfortunately the telegram
was not delivered until the next morning
so that Mrs. Carney and Fletcher did
not arrive in Springfield in time to be
present at the deathbed. The deceased
can be said to have known no other home
than Gaesburg. In 1885 he graduated
with honor from Lombard University.
He had always manifested a natural in
clination for newspaper work, and dur
ing his college course was more or less
connected with the city press. After
| graduation he served as local editor of
the PlaiRdedler for about eighteen
| months. AS writer he was terse in style
and conscientious. He was careful to
avoid offensive personalities and showed
a decent regard for the feelings of others.
In disposition he was somewhat retiring
and modest.
Mr. Carney was member of the Uni
versalist church and recognized as an ear.
nest worker. Early last fall he was elected
superintendent of the Universalist Sun
day-school, but in consequence of his So
| journ in Springfield resigned on the occa-
sion of his last visit here. He was highly
esteemed by his fellow Christians. His
character was above reproach. He was
honest, faithful, sincere, kind and accom-
modating. He was also member of the
Bennett Assembly, No. 1871 Knights of
Labor. Since being in Springfield he
has written several spicy and entertain
ing letters to the Republican, Register.
He was regarded as young man Of fine
| promise. His unassuming, quiet ways
made him many warm friends. All SYM
